Question who will fill Najip Ali judges spot on Maharaja Lawak Mega 2017 still up in the air as Harith Iskander turns down offer

Harith turns down seat on Maharaja Lawak Mega judges' panel

PETALING JAYA: The question of who will fill the empty judge’s seat on the Maharaja Lawak Mega 2017 (MLM2017) show is still up in the air after comedian Harith Iskander (pic) rejected an offer to take up the position.

According to the winner of the Funniest Person in the World competition, he received an offer from Astro to fill the spot formerly held by Singaporean comedian Najip Ali.

“But I cannot accept the offer because my schedule from this Friday onwards is full,” he told mStar Online via WhatsApp on Thursday.

Harith, who is currently overseas, was commenting on Najip’s position that has been embroiled in controversy as a result of poking fun at Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak in a comedy segment aired on Singapore TV.

On March 29, Singapore’s Mediacorp Channel 5 broadcast the comedy panel show OK Chope! which included a segment where participants were asked to fill in the blank in the sentence “Najib slams __ for threatening Malaysia’s progress.”

The responses he received later drew complaints from viewers.

The replacement for Najip as a permanent jury member for MLM2017 next to Datuk Rosyam Nor and Luna Maya remains in question as Astro executives are keeping mum on the matter.

MLM2017, hosted by Datuk AC Mizal, is broadcast live from the Royal Theatre Shah Alam at 10pm on Fridays.
